Dollar Tree Mantle. . . .

My "greens" were originally wreaths that I cut apart and wired together.....you can get el-cheapo wreaths that are really too small to hang anywhere, but when strung together make a nice garland!

The Dollar Tree sells tubes of Christmas balls.....I just dumped a tube into a glass vase that I also purchased at The Dollar Tree....I'll show you how to make the higher vase tomorrow....

I grabbed sprigs of red berries at The Dollar Tree that I cut apart and the poinsettia's were purchased after Christmas at Kmart.....I think that I spent 10 cents a bunch because they were 90 percent off!!

I'm pretty sure that I grabbed the white lights at The Dollar Tree, too, but I purchased them last year.....

I could not have seen this post at a better time. I am going to DT at lunch today! I will be picking up a couple of wreaths for sure now! Beautiful how you took $1.00 items and made your mantle look like a million bucks!

Most crafty Mom's send their children on the yellow bus and craft all day....well, mine go into the basement where we have created our own schoolroom and I try to craft in the midst of the craziness.....
God called our family into a great adventure called homeschooling, so decorating costs were not in our budget...that is until I discovered the treasures hiding at the Goodwill and a creative community of women who have turned "trash" into beauty!
Enjoy my attempt at making the world a prettier place all while spending very little money!
